From the Back Cover
This comprehensive, research-based introduction to childhood behavior disorders presents a sensitive and thorough examination of the field—covering its central issues, theoretical and methodological underpinnings, descriptions and discussions of numerous disorders, clinical and research information, and treatment approaches. Covers all major childhood behaviors and special disorders—their definition, description, prevalence, etiology, assessment, treatment, and special issues. Focuses on empirical findings and theoretical views, and introduces developmental psychopathology early on, using it as a broad framework to highlight issues of origins, transformations, and stability of behavior problems. Reflects the latest systems of classification (i.e., DSM-IV, American Association of Mental Retardation Criteria), and offers enlightening discussions on the cultural relativity of defining behavior disorders; the impact of PL-94-142 on education and institutionalization; gender issues, and more. Presents current scholarly literature, an extensive study on the developmental pathways across the different areas of growth, and a broad analysis on the continuities and discontinuities of behavioral problems. Features an attractive two-color design and numerous case studies and examples. For child psychologists, and specialists in behavior and emotional disorder or child and adolescent counseling.

This review is from: Abnormal Child and Adolescent Psychology (7th Edition) (Hardcover)
It is required for a class but I will refer to it for years to come as a reference about disorders affecting youth. Very useful unlike most textbooks.

Foundation of Field,
By Steven Curtis, Ph.D. (Bainbridge Island, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Behavior Disorders of Childhood (6th Edition) (Hardcover)
Behavior Disorders of Childhood is an absolute must read for students in the field of child clinical psychology, school psychology, and child psychiatry. The content in this book will provide a foundation on which future learnings can be placed. It is very well written and full of details about the field of developmental psychopathology, causal factors, and particular childhood disorders. With so many claims in the pop literature, this book is a wonderful resource to help others understand what is true and what is not so true. I also recommend this book to parents who have an intense need to know the research in the field.
